Vegetarian Success Story

From a letter to Savvy Veg about weight loss and heart health on a vegetarian diet:

Perhaps some details about my health and the benefits I have experienced from a vegetarian diet might be helpful...

The doctor examined me today and after almost 2 months of eating no meat:

1. My blood pressure has dropped to 110/80 - excellent at any age but exciting for a guy who is almost 62. There has been no change in medication but I would expect to be able to get off medication totally - under the doctor's supervision - in the next year or less.

2. There is no evidence whatever of the arrhythmia

3. I have lost another 10 pounds and am within 20 pounds of normal weight.
